19-acre lake in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, Germany. The lake tops out around 3 m. The depth chart comes from published agency bathymetric survey data, so the contours are survey-derived rather than computer-modeled. Below is the species-by-species picture, pulled from the same data the map uses.
Das Gewässer zeichnet 7,7 Hektar mit 1 km Ufer. Das Becken ist einfach (Uferindex 1.1) — fast eine Schüssel, die Tiefenlinien zählen mehr als das Ufer. Das gesamte Gewässer ist flacher als ~5 m — Kraut und Beutefische von Ufer zu Ufer. Das nächste kartierte Gewässer ist Tiefer See, 0 km Richtung Nordosten.
Kostenlose interaktive Tiefenkarte — Dorfsee, Deutschland: Tiefenlinien aus echten Vermessungsdaten bis 3 m (10 Fuß), dazu die besten Angelplätze für Flussbarsch, Hecht und Karpfen. Die Tiefenlinien basieren auf echten Vermessungsdaten (Seenvermessung des LUNG Mecklenburg-Vorpommern). Als Orientierung nutzen, niemals zur Navigation.
Early season european perch use the shallows, holding in 1 to 3 m. Even in summer they hold at 1 to 3 m; winter keeps them in 1 to 3 m. Put Deep basin first on the milk run — a deep basin near 2.5 m that grades prime for fall. In summer the feeding windows fall in early morning. Tie on a drop-shot micro plastics or a small crankbait (perch pattern) and you're in the game.
Depth note: when a documented seasonal range extends below this chart, the table shows the deepest mapped working water, not a verified holding depth.
| Saison | Tiefe | Beste Zeit | Einstieg | Köder |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Frühling | 1 to 3 m chart-limited; documented 1 to 3.5 m | midday & dawn | Break off the point (2 m) | Small jig + curly tail, Inline spinner #1-2 |
| Sommer | 1 to 3 m chart-limited; documented 2.5 to 8.5 m | dawn | Deep basin (2.5 m) | Drop-shot micro plastics, Small crankbait (perch pattern) |
| Herbst | 1 to 3 m chart-limited; documented 3 to 10 m | midday | Deep basin (2.5 m) | Jigging spoon (small), Drop-shot on deep flats |
| Winter | 1 to 3 m chart-limited; documented 3.5 to 10 m | midday & dawn | Deep basin (2.5 m) | Tungsten jig + maggots, Small balance jig |
Come spring, look for northern pike tight to the bank in 0.5 to 2.5 m. Expect a summer slide to 1 to 3 m, then a winter hold in 1 to 3 m. Start at Break off the point. It's a drop-off holding about 2 m of water and rates prime come fall. Prime time lands in early morning and the evening. A bucktail or a weedless spoon over cabbage is the honest summer answer here.

| Saison | Tiefe | Beste Zeit | Einstieg | Köder |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Frühling | 0.5 to 2.5 m | midday & dawn | open water | #5 inline spinner, Spoon (red/white) |
| Sommer | 1 to 3 m chart-limited; documented 2.5 to 6 m | dawn & dusk | Break off the point (2 m) | Bucktail, Weedless spoon over cabbage |
| Herbst | 1 to 3 m chart-limited; documented 2 to 5.5 m | midday & dawn | Break off the point (2 m) | Big rubber (Bull Dawg style), Husky-style jerkbait |
| Winter | 1 to 3 m chart-limited; documented 1.5 to 4.5 m | midday | Break off the point (2 m) | Tip-ups, Large jigging spoon |
In spring, common bream run shallow here, mostly 0.5 to 3 m. Summer keeps them at 1 to 3 m, and they winter in 1 to 3 m. Fall common bream concentrate at Deep basin, a prime-rated deep basin around 2.5 m. Fish it in early morning and the evening and you'll meet the bite.

| Frühling | 0.5 to 3 m chart-limited; documented 1 to 4.5 m | dusk | Break off the point (2 m) | |

| Herbst | 1 to 3 m chart-limited; documented 3.5 to 11 m | midday | Deep basin (2.5 m) | |
| Winter | 1 to 3 m chart-limited; documented 5.5 to 14 m | midday | Deep basin (2.5 m) |
Early season common carp use the shallows, holding in 0.5 to 3 m. Even in summer they hold at 0.5 to 3 m; winter keeps them in 1 to 3 m. The chart's best answer is Deep basin — deep basin, 2.5 m, prime for winter. Best bite is early morning and the evening.

| Winter | 1 to 3 m chart-limited; documented 3 to 9 m | midday | Deep basin (2.5 m) |
When the water first warms, european eel slide up into 1 to 3 m. There's no big seasonal slide here — summer means 0.5 to 3 m, winter 1 to 3 m. Start at Deep basin. It's a deep basin holding about 2.5 m of water and rates prime come winter. The feeding windows run after dark and the evening.

| Winter | 1 to 3 m chart-limited; documented 5.5 to 15 m | midday | Deep basin (2.5 m) |
The spring pattern is a shallow one: roach in 0.5 to 3 m. The depth story barely changes: 0.5 to 3 m through summer, 1 to 3 m in winter. The spot to know is Break off the point, a drop-off in about 2 m of water that rates prime for roach in fall. Plan around early morning and the evening in the warm months. Summer baits: a tiny spoon or a micro jig gets it done.

The chart marks 3 structure features on Dorfsee; the deepest is Deep basin at about 2.5 m.
Season dates, license requirements, and size and bag limits for Germany waters are set by the LALLF Mecklenburg-Vorpommern (Angelfischerei) — and special regulations can apply to Dorfsee specifically, so confirm the current rules before you fish. Mecklenburg-Vorpommern coastal fishing requires the applicable fishing documents and compliance with current coastal species, size, season and protected-area rules. Check the live LALLF guidance, local fishery rights, harbour and navigation restrictions, nature-reserve controls, shore access and posted signs before every trip; a DepthScout contour or access lead is never legal permission.

Dorfsee is about 10 ft (3 m) deep at its deepest point. The depth chart comes from published agency bathymetric survey data, so the contours are survey-derived rather than computer-modeled.
Dorfsee ist an der tiefsten Stelle etwa 3 Meter (10 Fuß) tief. Die Tiefen stammen aus echten Vermessungen.
Anglers target european perch, northern pike, common bream, common carp, european eel, roach on Dorfsee. This isn't a survey of the water — none is published for it — but an informed estimate from the species common to the region, narrowed by this water's depth, size and each species' range.
Deep basin is the top-rated area: a deep basin in about 9 ft of water that rates prime for european perch in fall. Scroll up to the map for the complete spot list by species and season.
For european perch, the summer bite is best in early morning. Each species page section below lists the seasonal windows, and the map shows a live NOW badge when you're inside one.
Fishing on Dorfsee is regulated by the LALLF Mecklenburg-Vorpommern (Angelfischerei). Check the official Germany regulations for current license requirements, season dates, and size and bag limits — special regulations can apply to this specific water.
